The following statement can be attributed to Nancy Wang, Executive Director of Voters Not Politicians, on the ethics and transparency bills discussed by the House Elections and Ethics Committee today:
“Over the past two years, Voters Not Politicians has worked collaboratively with leadership on both sides of the aisle to develop a comprehensive package of ethics and transparency bills that will fundamentally change the way our state government operates. Bills like HB 4680-4689 and 4692, which would require financial disclosure with an investigation process and prohibit conflicts of interest, will set Michigan in the right direction to ensure our elected officials are accountable to voters. While we are open to improvements to these bills, they represent a solid foundation that can be built upon over time.”
